Yeah its something that I have not seen anyone talk about. Dont bet on the vrs companys figuring that one out as they would make less money if hearing people could call deaf people without relay. It’s not in the vrs companys best interest to bring that issue up. It will need to be consumers...

Most all people have a choice. I will say for someone who WANTS to work they don’t need VR. If the person has good work skills like showing up on time and not missing days of work bec they just didn’t feel like going they will find a job. If they work as hard as they can at what ever...

Correct me if I am wrong but dosent sprintvrs contract with hovrs to provide their service..Think they are both one in the same.. I do know before sprintvrs contracted with csdvrs but that ended sometime ago.

So when the new number system goes though how would a hearing person who I would guess is not able to get a "phone number" for their vp going to call someone who has been required to have a phone number.

Yes an appeal should be filed. There is a time line you must meet. Ask the lawyer to contact the NAD legal department. They would be able to tell him what to put in the appeal. There are cases out there that have been appealed based on the lack of an interpreter and they won. So there is...

When a VRS interpreter asks you to repeat what you said because they didn’t understand or when they ask you to repeat a persons name or phone number because they missed it or whatever reason what do you do? What do you do if they do it several times in a call? Do you roll your eyes and throw...

If you show up late he will fire you.I wont get into all the details of what you could ask for and what you could get but in the end you will show up late one day and he will fire you. Then you wont have a job. Does he buy all the other people working for him a phone? Bet not.Bet they...

Does not seeing the bonus features really change your over all quality of life? Sheesh you would have had to just kill yourself if you lived back in the 1920s.Sheesh my goodness I mean my life would just fall apart if I couldn’t see those bonus tracks on a dvd. If not having a dvd bonus track...

Also If you know any people who give lots of money to elected state officals try and get them to help.Tell them it sucks the doctor has to pay for it and there should be a better way of doing this than having the doctors fighting deaf people and deaf people fighting doctors.

Let’s get to the roots of the problem. The fact that the person doesn’t have good enough control of English to understand what the doctor is saying. How many people who don’t have good control of English file complaints or even know how to. Do people who have a 3rd grade reading level file...

They could monitor what you type and say on your computer or phone line.Not that they would but they can.There are programs out there that can capture what you type so they could review that or just remote into your computer and watch what you type.They could also remote into your computer and...
